The Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) industry has witnessed substantial growth in recent years, owing to the rising demand for efficient livestock feed and sustainable agricultural practices. As one of the key components in ethanol production, DDGS requires advanced drying systems to ensure optimal quality and usability. In India, Radox Engineering has emerged as a leading name in the manufacturing of DDGS dryers, offering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the needs of various industries.
What is DDGS?
DDGS is a co-product of the ethanol production process, created by drying the grain residue left after the fermentation process. Known for its high protein and nutrient content, DDGS is widely used as animal feed for cattle, poultry, and aquaculture. The quality of DDGS depends significantly on the drying process, making efficient and reliable drying equipment a critical requirement for ethanol manufacturers.
How to use DDGS DRYER:
Distilled spent wash passes through decanter by continuous separation process whereby product (DWGS) separates out. DWGS (by product) receives in insoluble form.
It has 50 to 60 % moisture therefore this DWGS directly goes for drying into a ring dryer having air temperature 180 deg C and outlet temperature 90 deg C. After this process DDGS comes in powder form and packed in jute bags or HDPC Bags.The DWGS material is feed into the disintegrated fan by a screw conveying system with feed flow control system & conveyed in the Flash Duct with dry air at temperature of 180°c.Atmospheric air is heated to the required temperature into the steam radiator by the steam or Thermic fluid oil heater and is used as drying media. The DWGS feed comes in contact with hot air and gets dried as it travels along the flash duct.
Moist heavy particles are separated in the classifier from the dried powder and are recycled back into the disintegrator. The dry powder is separated in a high efficiency cyclone separator and discharged through rotary air lock valve.
Whole drying Process runs in vacuum so that the protein content will not be denatured and quality of the product doesn’t affect. All dried product accumulate & convey with help of pneumatic conveying system as well as reduce the product temperature which is suitable for packaging and then for storage. The entire operation of the system is controlled through PLC control system.
Conclusion:
Radox Engineering has established itself as a trusted name in the DDGS dryer manufacturing sector in India. With a focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, the company continues to contribute to the growth of the ethanol and agricultural industries. By choosing Radox Engineering’s DDGS dryers, businesses can achieve superior product quality, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
